Moreno reportedly has his heart set on a move to the Bernabeu - as talkSPORT told you last week - but Brendan Rodgers will be encouraged to bid anyway as Sevilla are unlikely to hold out for the full value of the defender’s minimum fee release clause.

Agent Javier Moya told AS: "Yes, Napoli presented an offer in January, but it was not seen as big enough. The interest of Real Madrid? Nothing has been done and my client is concentrating on Sevilla.

"Sevilla are willing to negotiate, but on their conditions. I’m not saying he can only leave there for his £25m release clause fee."
